UP RERA Advises Homebuyers to Use Carpet Area for Property Purchases
The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) has advised homebuyers to base property purchases on carpet area, which reflects the actual usable living space, rather than super built-up area that includes shared common facilities. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, developers must disclose carpet area and details of exclusive balconies or terraces on the UPRERA portal. This guidance aims to enhance transparency and help buyers make informed decisions.
